A stage is where the bill stood in its legislature, as LegiScan reports it. Passing one or both chambers does not make a bill law, and a law is not always enforceable: see the policy areas and the court sources they cite. “Passed / adopted” follows LegiScan's status and can include resolutions. A session's adjournment does not by itself show that a bill failed.
